  1. leashes are for dogs and people with weird fetishes, not kids. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg&feature=player_embedded#at=48 "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  3. a dropzone is the easiest place i have found to meet people. they are always coming and going and you need to be able to interact with strangers. if you put in a little effort to get out of your shell and meet people, i am sure they will be more than happy to make your acquaintance. be who you want to be, all the rest falls into place. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  4. i enjoyed having an excuse for not answering the phone "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  5. you should just ship the rig and child problem solved "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  6. you do not have to be a uspa member to skydive. however, most dropzones require that you be a member in order to jump at their dropzones (so yes you basically have to be a member). this is because the training is standardized through the uspa. the biggest perk of a uspa membership is you have 3rd party insurance. if you mess someone else's property up you are covered somewhat. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  7. there can be only one "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  8. you can probably just get someone to jump with you that is qualified for a lift ticket or maybe just a beer at the end of the day. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  9. be prepared but play it by ear. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  10. i think you have a typo in the sudject. it should read "skydiving is religion" "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  11. never said it was a good idea. edited to add: i just spoke with my insurance company and skydiving is NOT excluded.
  12. yes, if you have a plan with 2 or more people, and you dive that plan, it is a successful "group formation" jump. the biggest deal is going to be the water training. not everywhere offers it anytime. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  13. i have "fallen off a ladder" dislocated shoulder and "tripped playing frisbee" strained ligament in finger. you gotta do what you gotta do. make your own decision about it because when it comes down to it, it is your ass on the line. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  14. i remember that, epically stupid! haha. Oh yeah, the video of that double leg slap punishment is on youtube somewhere. Left a helluva mark! Two of them actually! good ol' clemson, i tried to find it to post in my first reply but no luck. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

  16. +1 i've never had the urge to do one, and the one i witnessed.. well, after that, even less so; for a good reason! a PC-entanglement around both jumpers legs is not really my definition of "fun", especially not if you're exiting at or below 3500ft.. pca mr bill http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCcDwg2CIiQ "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  17. welcome to your vice, enjoy life "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

  19. all the commercials http://www.youtube.com/user/adblitz?feature=ticker "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  20. people who smack gum, or anything for that matter. when someone calls you and you barley miss it, then call them back (literally) 2 seconds later and he/she doesn't answer. when someone pulls out in front of me causing me to slow down a lot, then will make the next left turn 100yards down the road and make me wait. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  21. being a vegetable scares me more. No one said you had to die when you went in or bounced. i thought bounced meant you died? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  22. being a vegetable scares me more. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  23. it tastes like shit, why dont you get some real rum "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
